Career development at Ramtech is rooted in encouragement, trust and a genuine belief that people thrive when they are given space to explore their potential. As a global leader in wireless fire safety technology, Ramtech knows that true innovation comes from people who are continually learning and pushing themselves forward.
A standout example of this is the journey of Aron Wadhia, who moved from Finance Controller to Head of Business Development. His progression illustrates how Ramtech creates meaningful opportunities for internal mobility and long term professional growth. We recently sat down with Aron to discuss his bold career transition, the support he received along the way and what his experience reveals about Ramtech’s commitment to nurturing talent across the organisation.
Taking a bold step into a new direction
What motivated you to make the transition and how did Ramtech support you?
Aron: I am always looking for new ways to learn and develop. I made it known that I wanted to gain more direct commercial experience as part of my long-term career development. I am very fortunate that others saw my potential and supported the transition. Ramtech colleagues have been incredibly encouraging and patient with me as I learn new ropes.
Career development at Ramtech thrives because leaders listen, encourage ambition and support employees who want to expand their skill sets. Being part of the Halma Group strengthens this approach even further.
Transferring finance strengths into a customer focused role
What skills helped you succeed and what new skills did you have to develop?
Aron: Although the roles are very different, several finance skills transfer well. Being financially literate helps me quickly assess commercial opportunities. I have always worked with many stakeholders and now this happens more externally with customers. There are knowledge areas I needed to strengthen but with the support of colleagues and my earlier experience at Ramtech, this has not been too difficult. The biggest mindset change has been around risk. In finance you work to mitigate risk. In business development you take calculated risks to support growth.
A culture that believes in potential and progression
How would you describe Ramtech’s approach to internal progression?
Aron: Ramtech is a fantastic place for learning and growing. Smaller companies sometimes have a reputation for limited progression, but Ramtech is a great example of why that is not always true. Many colleagues have been given opportunities to move into new roles and shine in different areas of the business. Being part of Halma provides even more possibilities. My experience shows that if someone has the potential, is motivated and communicates their long-term aspirations, the opportunity will come. Evidence from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development highlights the value of internal mobility for retention and engagement.

Advice for anyone considering a bold career move
What guidance would you give to colleagues or industry professionals?
Aron: One of our Orama Values is Be Bold and Own It. I would encourage anyone looking for new experiences to have a conversation with their manager. Let them know where you want to be in the long term so they can support your development. You never know what opportunities could be waiting for you. This perspective reflects the heart of career development at Ramtech where curiosity, ambition and communication open the door to new possibilities.
